Your film is very well done, the modeling is perfect, texturing also, and i like the toon/realistic rendering, you could just soften shadows (heli's one) and yeah animation is not your best skill but it's still better than me.. so keep working hard, and tell us for the next chapter ;)

A big heartfelt thank you to the Guy/Gal that posted/published my video here!!! Thank You!

@Jalik And Dusty -apart from hand motions, walk cycles and other basic animations, this was my very first shot at something on this scale, its just inexperience, next time I hope to use storyboards to better plan out the video..

Although I'm not that fan of "low framerate" videos yours look quite nice. Apart from the mentioned animation stuff I would look into camera positon/movement (and I don't mean shake ;) ). In some scenes the camera is not moving which gives me the feeling of a surveillance cam.

@bc7946b08b482e58d9c8195594442470:disqus I used CM extensively to further reduce render-times, using pan/movement on the camera would negate that advantage.
Also the file size of that video is only 12.2MB. I plan to use render-layer compositing in the future but for now CM is a tried and trusted tool to keep memory usage low.

Also the Merc models are ~2000 vertices
Spec Ops are ~4000 vertices

These are the limitations imposed on me by the 2core PC and 2GB RAM-no graphics card.

This is an excellent first attempt at a short film! I'm sure w/ more practice and education the quality of your work will grow exponentially as it looks like you already have a a good grasp of what you're doing. Would like to see your next piece as you get better. Thanks for sharing!
